A 1000 pound tool box which may be carrying $ 20,000 in tools deserves
some really good casters. Expect to pay about 70 bucks a piece and expect
to be happy with that cost 40 years from now when it is still rolling just
fine.

equipment)


In the convention industry, we use four wheel dollies. The wheels they use
cost about $15 each, so a dolly is about $75 per. They have hundreds of
them at each door.

They abuse the heck out of them. And only occasionally, you see one
sidelined, mostly from encounters with forklifts.

You get what you pay for, particularly in casters. And tires.
